New Year...Blessed Life

Happy New Year!

I have such a blessed life. I have always had such a blessed life. Through all our struggles with our sweet Bug, God has surrounded me with the richest friendships and the most precious of souls to comfort me. Those times were perhaps the moments that have made me the person the person that I am and although it may sound odd to many, I don't know that I would change much of it.

Yes, the hurt and pain for my daughter I would instantly want to be removed...but the growth and knowledge that I have gained from my deeper understanding of falling in love with the Lord because that is the only person you can trust, can go to, can run to , can have faith in , can believe in, can fully know has the ability to take away any of the hurt that your family is going through.

With 2009 came alot of pain for our family, but with that pain God was always there. He was there for the return of seizures, the failed adoption and the trying times of Doo's adoption. The point is He is always there. Just because you don't know the answer, can't see the plan, don't understand it...He's still there.

Our God is so good and it is my hope and prayer that in 2010 I use the gifts and talents that the Lord has given me for His purpose and plan. I am excited about The 1:27 Call and all that He has planned for the orphan ministry and I know that God truly has put a calling in my life for the call of the orphan. I am so excited to see what happens this year in that arena!

I am also excited to see what the Lord does in the life of my family...in my daughter Bug. I believe that God has a plan for her and I don't always know what it involves and those weeks that we have seizures everyday are hard, but I trust Him and I remind myself that He loves her more than I do. I am so very blessed to have two amazing daughters in Bug and Doo. The blessing of Doo at the time of Christmas...was just a special gift. I am looking forward to God molding me into a godly mom wife. With the addition of a second child, I am praying that I learn to make sure to keep my hubbs my best friend as he truly is.

There are no resolutions here on this blog...I am just reflecting and excited to see what God has in store for me this next year! Hoping that you have a blessed year!
